Yes yes i know i said i will not get one but for the price of a good steak and a beer i just cud not pass on the opty to get this one from a fellow member... Here is a crappy phone picture of this beast... trying to get used to the size and weight. If Rolex would come out with a nice black rubber dive strap something like the omega has on the POs it would make this lighter to wear... but i guess that's out of the question. Laz

Interesting Post Lani my man, why i say this is i kinda felt same when i received my gen. white explorer... i was over the moon at first specially because it was bought from a fellow member and because it traveled through members hands all cross Atlantic to finally land on my wrist yet again something was off ... no part collecting, no pm s for advices no booking time on tribal s work bench As U said don't take it wrong i love the watch... actually i prefer it to my Sea Dweller! still we all get so used to a certain "procedure" with our watches that buying a gen just kinda takes us of track... Still "gen is a gen" and since we closely examined all kinda watches and makes still there are differences that will never be cough up by the makers... the attention to details and overall fit and finish is just milestones away... IMHO! Now lite that baby up and enjoy... u acquired a nice piece... wear it in good health. Ure pal LAZ

Hey guys here is my new 1665 that Tribal just build for ure consideration... Regards Laz

@ Marty thx m8, The DW was already on the watch when i purchased it from orleon... is as close as it can get regarding being centered, i had one on my previous 1665 and it looked centered on most dates to me ... still maybe im not so picky that said these date wells are known that they do not align 100% on all dates still small price to pay in my eyes for that thicker font and flat 3s ... love the flat 3s man PS... this watch as all my Rolex modded pieces was skilfully transformed by MR. Tribal as always he overachieved on my expectations... Laz

NDT 1665 dial with vintage patina Hands modded to match the dial patina Gen 585 end links Gen crown and tube Tropic 39 Superdom glass Drilled holes with gen pins Ubi flat 3 DW Hollow mid link bracelet 93150 Gen vintagized insert with acrilic tritium pearl Case back stripped and aged CGs shaped and re polished Case re shaped and re polished Regards Laz

This evening i took of the amazing Pam 196 for this special piece that i thought was lost forever... Laz

Dear all. Today at work i went to pickup some stuff in my locker and while there saw something resembling a steel bracelet in a box cowered with papers. I went to pull it out and realized its a watch And not just any watch its a Certina ODC One, that my dad purchased me for my BD cca. 15 years ago I remembered that i took it with me in a non working state 5 years ago when i moved to peruse my career to another country, thinking im gonna go to a watch guy to see what can be done with it as it stooped running. In the meantime i completely forgot about it and now it just appeared ... i immediately went down to the shopping center and after a bit of cleaning of the contacts and a new battery the watch was alive I'm wearing it as i write this and just looking at it tick makes me feel great, needles to say why... that said all in all still quite a looker This pictures i found on the web: Specifications: Water resistant 100 m / 330 feet Case Size ~ 36 mm / 1.41" – not including crown Length ~ 23.5 cm / 9.2" Movement Analogue Quartz Case Stainless steel Dial Black with date located at 3 o'clock Glass Sapphire crystal with anti reflection Hands 3 silver and luminous Strap Stainless steel bracelet Buckle Double deployment clasp made of stainless steel (with safety clasp) Misc. From "ODC ONE" collection Here for ure view pleasure the pics of the watch i just took: And a wristie PS. i remember i sold a rep and since i wanted to protect it and was at my parents home i packed it in the original Certina box from this ODC ONE and sent the watch of... the problem is i cant remember to who so if someone got that box from me and still has it i would be glad if i can get it back... im willing to pay a few bob. Thx for reading Cheers LAZ

How did i miss this post ! Fantastic piece T. regards Laz

Hi R. I did in september 2008 Vienna... i traveled there and back just to see this watch in an AD live since i was seriously thinking of getting it... what happened ... HUGE disappointment ... the fit and finish was way below my expectations the hole watch looked cheap... specially the bezel rotating system ... not only that it sounded like turning a cheap canal street rep it also had some play!!! can u believe it sheeesh also the strap is a joke thin looking cheap also noticed that where the buckle was attached it had a 0.5mm of play between the strap and buckle and that on both sides .... i cant stress enough the disappointment ... at 9.8k euro they were asking for it. Still i like the design and the history behind the fifty, so i would purchase the rep. but gen. i will stay away from. regards Laz

Welcome ... search function and pinned topics are ure best friends atm. Laz

For the new chaps... the watch T. (PAM1A) build does not have AR on gen model also... there fore he wanna get it of... the modern pams nowadays have a light AR applied... hope this clears it up a bit? Laz
